NAME

       Tk::Xrm - X Resource/Defaults/Options routines that obey the rules.

SYNOPSIS

          use Tk;
          use Tk::Xrm;

DESCRIPTION

       Using this modules causes Tk's Option code to be replaced by versions which use routines
       from <X11/Xresource.h> - i.e. same ones every other X toolkit uses.

       Result is that "matching" of name/Class with the options database follows the same rules
       as other X toolkits. This makes it more predictable, and makes it easier to have a single
       ~/.Xdefaults file which gives sensible results for both Tk and (say) Motif applications.

BUGS

       Currently optionAdd(key => value?, priority?) ignores optional priority completely and
       just does XrmPutStringResource().  Perhaps it should be more subtle and do
       XrmMergeDatabases() or XrmCombineDatabase().

       This version is a little slower than Tk's re-invention but there is more optimization that
       can be done.
